flying eagle or sitting duck ?

Is this natural state ? It's got great strike detail, but to me.. the dark spots between the U and N and the T and E in "united" (obverse), coupled with the color, especially on the reverse, gives me cause to suspect a bodybag in the making for "questionable color" (probably due to soaking or dipping).

Thoughts ?

I'd say it's a cleaned coin. BB.

Maybe cleaned, but it's a nice looking piece.

Poorly lit photo. I wouldn't even attempt to guess a grade. It's raw...

Nice coin with perhaps unc details, seems to be the victim of a dip, if there are no hairlines you may want to condsider a visit to NCS or perhaps even a bath in acetone to remove any of the residue on the surface from the dip and put the coin in an envelope so it can retone a little. As is it would bb for cleaning imo.
